Reply to TIL that after the battle between the USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere, the captain of the Constitution, Isaac Hull, refused the sword of surrender from the captain of the Guerriere, James Richard Dacre, saying he could not accept it from a man who fought so gallantly by alcapwnage0007
The USS Constitution is still going strong too. Pretty crazy when you think about it.

Don’t mistake caring with passing judgement. I fucking hate my country’s policies, but other than practicing my 1st amendment rights, I am powerless to effect any real change.

As a US citizen, I could never judge another country for choosing to bomb a poorer nation. I’m not a hypocrite.

Yes, the air is absolutely cleaner up here.
Also, I can’t make people stay in my life or do what I want them to do—I’m not Qatar.

Not sure why I’m bothering to respond to someone who uses “u” instead of “you”, but here goes:
This is the first time—that I know of—where slave labor was used to build the stadiums, etc. I don’t really give a shit about the petty corruptness, but I draw the line when human rights issues come into play.

Nah. Not even going to do that. Like I said, there is no 2022 World Cup for me.

I watched my first World Cup in 1990, and every one of them since then.
Not going to watch it this time though. I’d rather wait 4 more years. Whatever happens this year doesn’t even count as far as I’m concerned—even if my team wins.

Reply to comment by EndofGods in RIP Passwords? Passkey support rolls out to Chrome stable | With a huge list of caveats, initial Google passkey support is here. by MortWellian
You’re getting downvoted, but you’re right. Accessibility and security of data are two parts of the triad that require the most balancing. By its very nature, security is reduced as you increase accessibility, and vice versa.
The key word here is guarantee though. It is possible to make it extremely difficult to get the data without proper access—just not impossible. Some of the methods used today are pretty slick, but I’ve already forgotten most of what was covered in my network security course. I mostly just remember thinking “this isn’t for me” and “please make this stop”.
